The new album arrives on May 16th
Jin of 21st century pop icons unveiled the third series of the official concept photos for his second solo album Echo on BTS’ official social media channels. Slated for May 16th, Echo is built on the band sound that Jin has personally loved for a long time. The concept photos, which were released over three days from April 22-24, center around the theme of a band frontman. Embracing the overarching identity of a rocker, these visuals radiate with creativity, originality, and an unmistakable magnetic presence.
The third round of concept photos shows Jin going rock ‘n’ roll chic in a sleek, all-black ensemble. Dressed in a fur coat paired with tailored slim-fit suit pants—he exudes effortless cool. With a bold gaze fixed on the camera, Jin poses beside a retro microphone and electric guitar, set against a dramatic black-and-white monotone color palette. The photos amplify his bold charisma and striking visuals, perfectly embodying the nickname World Wide Handsome that fans around the world know and love.
In the first concept photos released on April 22nd, Jin captivates with a refreshingly simple yet attractive look. Dressed in a classic white t-shirt and jeans, he radiates a youthful spirit. The backdrop filled with vintage posters, old instruments, and piles of vinyl records evokes the atmosphere of a young artist’s studio. The images of Jin listening to music through earphones inside a car serve as a visual ode to his deep and genuine love for music.
The second set of concept photos, unveiled the following day, channels the spirit of a rock icon. Jin appears in a punk rock-inspired outfit, featuring a leather jacket, matching pants, and a studded belt and accessories, paired with medium-length hair streaked with blonde highlights. Posing confidently against a graffiti-covered backdrop, he commands attention with a striking sense of individuality and a rebellious edge.
Echo offers his perspective on universal life experiences, capturing everyday emotions with warmth and sincerity. Marking another major global milestone, he will embark on his first-ever solo tour #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.Tour. The tour will kick off with a two-night run in South Korea from June 28-29 and will continue to cities in Japan, United States, and Europe.
